Hi everyone! I've been using cygwin for the past few years, on windows 98 and 2k. Recently, my win2k-SP1 machine was "platformed" (is that a verb?) to company standards (Windows 2000 Pro, SP2, Spanish), so yesterday I downloaded everything and performed a fresh install (setup 2.340.2.5 downloaded from cygwin.com, "Download from Internet", mirror: http://archive.progeny.com , and then "Install from local directory", which is different than c:\cygwin ), and now I'm in a similar situation to that outlined in this thread (sorry, just the web link: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg00406.html ). Basically, the postinstall scripts start complaining a lot (installl-info: not found; basename: not found; sed: not found; etc.), *but* the /etc/paswwd and /etc/group files are created, whereas the "home" directory isn't, so I'm left with a system that doesn't recognize any commands unless I prepend "/bin/" and almost all my shell scripts just error out. I've tried as a user with administrative rights, as a normal user, as a user not logged in to the domain controller, but I always end up in the same situation (also tried default and full installs). I checked out the thread I mentioned above, and here are some answers to questions asked there (will be quoting from the web pages). I created user "cygwin" to do all the tests, and always deleted the full cygwin tree and registry entries before installing (the same thing happens wth the default user, BTW): >What happens when you type sh -c /etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh.done? It just executes the command. >Do you have an /etc/passwd file? If not please type >mkpasswd -l -c > /etc/passwd >mkgroup -l -c > /etc/group >and then getfacl /etc Yes, I have the /etc/passwd file (attached, along with /etc/group), here's the output for getfacl: bash-2.05b$ /bin/getfacl /etc # file: /etc # owner: cygwin # group: Usuarios user::--- group::--- mask:rwx other:rwx default:other:rwx And here's my (very short!) cygcheck: bash-2.05b$ /bin/cygcheck -srv Cygwin Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Thu Apr 24 16:01:46 2003 Windows 2000 Professional Ver 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 Path: c:\WINNT\system32 c:\WINNT c:\WINNT\System32\Wbem e:\synergia e:\avb `id' program not found None of the log files say much (they show all programs being installed and the scripts being executed), but I can attach them if necessary. Any help will be greatly appreciated! (sorry if it turns out to be just a dumb mistake on my part... :( ) TIA, Joey. <<group>> <<passwd>>
